KUALA LUMPUR — The Islamic Arts Museum was named the top museum in Malaysia and 10th in Asia in the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice awards for museums around the globe.

Travellers’ Choice awards honour top travel spots worldwide based on the millions of reviews from TripAdvisor travellers where dedicated lists for Asia, Europe, South America, South Pacific, the United Kingdom, the United States and Malaysia were identified.

“Some of the world’s most significant cultural institutions are represented within the Travellers’ Choice museums, thanks to the feedback shared by millions of travellers around the world,” said chief marketing officer for TripAdvisor, Barbara Messing, in a statement, Wednesday.

Featuring some of the world’s finest art, scientific discoveries and historical events, these world-class attractions offer both educational and enriching experiences, Messing said.

Award winners were determined using an algorithm that took into account the quantity and quality of reviews for museums worldwide, gathered over a 12-month period.
